Tóm tắt

To explore the effect of auricular point sticking in relieving chemotherapy induced vomiting, and to observe its effect on the usage of Ondansetron hydrochlorid injection. Fifty subjects were randomized into a control group and an observation group. The cases in the control group received Ondansetron hydrochlorid injection (i.v.) prior to chemotherapy; while those in the observation group received additional auricular point sticking a day before chemotherapy till the end of the chemotherapy. The dose of Ondansetron hydrochlorid used in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control (P<0.05). Auricular point sticking can reduce the dose of Ondansetron hydrochlorid in the patients with chemotherapy induced vomiting, and effectively attenuate vomiting.
